87.5% of all entry fees go directly to the top three finishers, giving skilled players real earning opportunities.

**Season Pass Access**\
The Premium Season Pass can be purchased with $EMJ, unlocking exclusive rewards and progression advantages over 3-month seasons.

**Marketplace Currency**\
$EMJ is the only currency used to buy, sell, and trade Marbles, Characters, Ability Cards, emoji™ Boosters, and cosmetic items on the marketplace.

**Progression Rewards**\
Players can earn $EMJ through XP-based levelling up, completing seasonal milestones, and achieving top results in competitive play.
